A familiar face in the Hardin county legal system is moving up. After 22 years on district court, judge David Simcoe has been appointed by Governor Andy Beshear to fill the vacant seat for Hardin Circuit Court.
Simcoe says he will be sworn in Friday, and will assume his new role on Monday. He takes over for former judge Ken Howard, who retired and now serves as city attorney for Elizabethtown.
